North Little Rock police on Saturday arrested a Washington state probation absconder connected to the slaying of four police officers in 2009.

Authorities had been seeking Eddie Lee Davis, 26, since May 28, according to the Washington State Department of Corrections. Davis had been on community supervision, the equivalent of probation or parole in Arkansas, following a drug possession and assault conviction and had failed to report to his supervising officer.

Davis had been convicted of rendering criminal assistance and gun possession after driving Maurice Clemmons, 37, from Tacoma, Wash., to Pacific, Wash., after Clemmons shot and killed four police officers in Lakewood, Wash., on Nov. 29, 2009. Davis was one of six people convicted of aiding Clemmons in the police killings.

The Washington State Supreme Court overturned Davis' gun possession conviction in February and reduced his 10-year sentence by 21 months. He was released from prison less than a week after the court decision was released.

Washington officials said his current community supervision is not related to that case.
